UROPEAN LIFE INSURANCE and AN NVITY OFFICE, 10, Chatham-place, Blackfriars, Loodorl.--This Company is formed on principles combining *very degree of sectirity with Advantages superior to any pre `sionsly offered to the Public. It consists of a number of Pro ietors, who are required to assure on their own lives or on those of approved nominees, sums proportionate to their respec • tine shares, on every transfer of which a new assurance is re quired to be effected. This system, by the perpetual renovation of policies, secures the stability and glowing prosperity of the Company, and is productive of great benefit to the assured, who participate in the profits arising from this regulation, without he 'll responsible for the engagetnents of the Company, which are secured by a , large subscribed capital. In the year 1819, when the European Company was formed, the Directors caused rates of insurance to he calculated from the amalgamated life tables of all Europe, which produced results tower than the rates df any Company then established, and which will still be finmd lower than any or the tables of Companies more recently formed, which admit the insured to a participation iu the profits : and this difference is so considerable as to he in the na ture of an annual bonus to the assured. The affairs of the Companrare managed by a Board of Twelve Directors, which sit every 19 . eilneulay throughout the year, at the Company'► Office, No. to,,Chathani-place, Blackfriare. • Prospectuses may be had at the Office, or of any of the Pro prietor*.

We subjoin a few extracts from .Parriana. The Doctor's opinion respecting the Seat in Parliament, is very forcible and characteristic. Hymen's Ball is ;waggish and clever:— Parr was on intimate terms with Mr. and Mrs. Bettie Great heed,.of Guy's Cliff, and paid them frequent visits at that delight ful villa. Of Bertie Greatheed he used to say, that " his talents were ' good wholesale talents,' but not powerful enough to give him literary elevation. Bertie," he said, " wrote a tragedy, which he called the 'Regent.' It came out while the great question of the Regency was pending, and so hotly debated by Pitt, and Fox. Of course, people flocked to see a play with such a name, thinking, no'doubt, that it related to the great party-question of the day. But it was a Spanish story; and .had nothing to do with the Regency; and every body seas disappointed. Mrs. Siddona, by her excellent acting, kept it up for some nights, but it was only a faint, languishing state of 'existence. At last some wags in the pit set up a laugh at a ridiculous passage in the dialogue, and then it sank for ever. Somebody asks one of the ; ga, personages where h e h a d l e f t t h e Ki ng, a . ' answered thus:—... ' Within his tent, surrounded h ?riend Or two, he sit s an d moc k s at ortrine.' Nov if the word had been ' attended,' all would have been well; but the idea of a man surrounded by a friend or two, was most egregiously absurd." Amongst the men of distinguished talents, in whose society Parr delighted, was Bobus Smith. He was a good Greek scholar, bad been educated at Eton, was contemporary, with Canning and Frere, and one of the principle contributors to that remark able specimen of juvenile talent—" The Microcosm." By the way, Bobus is merely an Etonian nick-name, which he has retain ed through life. So completely is it identified with him, that I remember the door of a drawing-room being thrown open before dinner, where a large party was assembled, and the servant call ing out hastily, Mr. and Mrs. Bobus Smith. It is a foolish habit (for I must be allowed to digress a-little) that of giving nick-names. A satirical family, I once visited, were upon inti mate terms with the late Mr. Holford, the Master in Chancery. He was somewhat addicted to prosing, and the girls in that house used to call him Bore Holford. This they did so habitually, that the servants caught it, and the next time he came there to dinner, he was announced before a great number of persons to the lady of the house in a loud voice, " Mr. Bore Holford, Ma'am !" "When at the bar I have often sate near Bohus, in full grin et his pleasantry and wit. He was then without a brief, but he mused himself and us with entertaining commentaries on the speeches of the men in business. Jemmy Park, now a Judge of the Common Pleas, happened on one occasion to be up, and was endeavouring to be pathetic, but in the worst taste imaginable. Observing a sarcastic mile on Bobus's countenance, I asked him what he was thinking of ? Why,' said he, ' I was absolut e ly lost in admiration at the curiosa infelicitas of Park's pathos V-- Some one once asked him what he thought of the style of ' Adol phus' Hiitory .of England.' Style !' said Bobus, it is not a style at all; but, as Swift said of Dr. Burnet's, what the poverty of the language conipeli me to call one.' " One of Parr's pupils became a Member of the House of Com- Mons about the year 1810. He was placed in a Ministerial seat by the late Mr. Perceval. Having in a letter, intended as an apology for something of tergiversation from his former senti ments, communicated the transaction to his old preceptor, he re ceived from him a long reply, one passage of which ran nearly thus If your change of party be sincere, your conduct re quires no casuistical defence. Party divisions are beneficial to „she Vita*, end there ere good man in has , - •-peirsiew ems kar cf - therefore, incurred no obligation which ft hannitmen would dia. avow ; 'end though your acceptance of the seat is a tacit compact of fidelity to those who gave it you, vet I take it for granted, that you had maturely weighed, and ilalibetately adopted their siontirnaate, before you undertook to support them. But if you have silenced the a t uweiunt of you r consc i ence, and abandonedthe impulses of yonr understanding; if upon the vital, bliiential, consecrated principles of the English Constitution, you have acted against your own internal convictions, no good man can applaud you, no honourable man can acquit you. You will have become a slave in the lowest sense of that degradation ; and on the day that saw you become one, you lost not ' half, but all your worth.'" AYMEN'S BALL. Hymen afforded a ball On the outside of his Castle ; Same call it Happiness Hall, Others account it a bdstile. Be that AA it may, in a trice Dancing we bad and hilarity ; Hearts that were boutid up Ia ice Melted to amorous charity_ Beauty look'd smiling on. Faith, Coyness grew into festivity, Pairs as they whirl'd out of breath, Walts'd themselves into captivity. PARKINSON ON FOSSILS.

By BONNINGTON MOUBRAY, Esq. "gr.: Moubray's little Book ou the breeding, rearing, and fat tening all kinds of, domestic poultry and pigs, is unquestionably the most practical• Work on the subject iu our language. The Author's aim seemi to have been to avoid scientific -detail, and to convey his information in plain and intelligible terms. The eon venience of a small poultry-yard, two or three pigs, with a breed ing sow, and a cow for cream, milk, butter, and cheese, in an English country-house, appears indispensable; and to point out ,low these may be obtained at a reasonable expellee, seems to have been Mr. Moubray's object. By acloptipg the plan of hie Work, any family may furnish their table with these luxuries at one-third of the price they are obliged to pay at the markets ; and the far mer and breeder may render it the source of considerable profit." —Farmer's Journal.

Magazine Day and Parliament at the same time, are no joke,—here is debateable ground with a vengeance ! would be a breach of privilege to pass to the order of the day and move the previous question, and it wo►cld be equally, out of the question to. leave. Literature in the lurch, by reporting progress in another place, while the in terests of the Republic of Letters were suffered to sleep on the shelf ; for by trying to avoid the vengeance of Quy Gawks, we might be blown up by the Magazines. So to keep all our readers in countenance we give as much of each as , may serve both, without doing injustice to either. THE NEW., MONTHLY Still keeps up its peculiar title to original commu nications and interesting variety. The present Number is more choice in prose than verse, as will be seen by our extracts, and more so by reference to the number, which opens with a very sensible article on the real state of Ireland, divested of false colouring or romance. An article on London Improvements is playful and qUaint. Old Parr is cooked zip again with more originality than on his first appearance, and serves to read varied but curious associations; and the Anecdotical Recollections are just in the same strain, but more serious. The visit to Mont Blanc is not only interesting, but fiill of fearful anxiety.— The following description of the-splendid Caverns of Ice in Mont Blanc is really beautiful : The elegance and beauty which nature has given to these re gions no pen, no pencil can pourtray ; nor can the mind easily imagine them. In real truth, how is it possible to describe ob jects which have no resemblance to any thing else we see in the daily course of life? It is not possible to convey to you a just idea of the sensations I experienced on viewing beauties and hor rors thus closely combined. The contrast of the spotless white of the snows, for nothing exists in these regions to soil them. with the dark and sombre colour of the surrounding peaks and pinnacles, hes no equal; the mutant rushing of the waters in hidden channels beneath our feet, the purity of t h e air, the cloud every object an extraordinary vivacity, ---all these lent th e i r a id t o less sky and brilliant sun which favou re d us, and gave to heighten the magnificent.* of the scene. It would be a , very great pleasure to me if I could give you t just description of the caverns of ice, many of which we passed in our second day's journey over the Glacier des &monk Their entrance is adorned with the largest and strongest icicles I ever saw, some twenty, some thirty feet long, and thick in proportion, with smaller ones projecting from their sides; .they are pure as the brightest crystal. Thole icicles hang from the tap and arched entrance of the ca verns; and.when the sun has sufficient p ower to melt. a small quantity of the finer snow, it drips from thei N i stalactites, and, falling on'the foot of the entrance, again freezes, and forms itself intopilvarcd like a d o ub l e e e rsedicicleii, r o w of with their points up war d s; and thus t h ey see. ipikeg, prevent th e traveller from entering into these abodes of death. I was very anx i ous to penetrate one o f th ese wonderful caverns ; b ut, as such an under taking would h ave cos t us more time than w e could g i ve ' w i t h out the risk of b e i ng ton l ate in the evening amon g th e d ange rs and difficulties we bad yet before us, the guides dissuaded me, Whig , they had never explored them. Danger there can be none, for the solidity of the arches would probably be sufficient for any weight overthem and there can be no chance of their falling but by an imperceptible movement of the glacier.

The article on Greece in this number is replete through out with dramatic interest; the account of the slaughter at Scio alone would furnish fuel for a dozen combustible melodramee as, however, it is very long, we cannot afford to extract it at present, but shall content ourselves instead with this characteristic extract A dreadful act of Turkish ferocity signalised the commencement of the campaign of 1822. In Europ ean war, the only slain itre the victims nf the field. In Turkish war, the slaughter of the battle is hut a trivial foretaste of the slaughter in cold blood.

" Even without the provocation of a Russian war, WWI Mustapha, predecessor and brother of Abdulhamid, on his Wee. lion to the throne, proposed to rut off all the Christians in the empire, and was with difficulty dissbased from it." The tale entitled Di Vasari is choice (as all. Blackwood's fictions are), and the review of the Souvenir, Amulet, Friendship's Offerings, &c. as good-natured as all Christ mas allusions should be. We are glad to find that Chris topher coincides with us in his opinion of Lord Byron's frontispiece, that disgraces the present year's Literary Sou venir. It is indeed an execrable performance, and belongs (one would think) to the worthy husband of some Bil lingsgate fishwoman. We expressed oar opinion of it pretty strongly a few weeks since, when called on to notice the Souvenir. MONTHLY AND EUROPEAN. We are glad to find that this Ikfagazine is fast improving in the great periodic a l essentials of, sale, reputation an d ability. The present Number is particularly spirited, and sets out with a Paper entitled " Ireland in 1828," from which Mr. Dawson, M. P. for Louth, may, we humbly conceive, derive much useful knowledge when he next ad dresses the House of Commons on the tilbjert of his " af flicted country."

Voice from the Departed," possesses a striking fearful interest; very far superior to the usual run of Magazine irticles. We regret that our limits will not allow us to give it entire ; the epitaph, however, on the " Toper," we can venture upon as it is both brief and unique in its way.

Fairy-land was the dream of the world when awaking From her second long slumber of darkness and dread, When even Superstition began to be taking Some tinges of beauty and light ere she fled : Then Fancy delighted, first mingled her terrors, Of demons and ghosts, with the lovely and tier, And called to adorn her, this dearest of errors— Of Fairies on earth, and of Sylphs in the air. But now the werM's older—they sa y it i s e r i ssr ,—. I wish they could prove it is happier too : But I fear that, as much as we think we despise her, We oft sigh for pleasures that, ignorance knew. The Fairies, alas! are for ever goes from us, The joys of our childhood in age leave no trace,—. But I cannot discover the raptures they promise Our wisdom shall being us, have yet filled . their place. The shepherd has often rabged o'er mountains and willies, A look at the elves in their gambols to steal; And whims'er disappointed, has thought it their malice That would not themselves or their treasures reveal:— But tell me, ye sages, who smile at the story, Were ye never lured by as foolish a•thought—. Have ye never chased riches, or splendour, or glory, For pleasures they never would give you, if caught? We all are deceived by some phantom or other, Like dreams of the Fairy-land, bright but untrue - And the fancy we smile to perceive in another, • Only altered in shape, is beguiling us too. - • Do not frown at my inoral.—. l twill give You assistance To keep in your view the true source, of bliss; • ,•• The joys that shall light up another existence, The friendship and love that console us in this. • • , . , .-. :11 14 .
